“You know what?” Jones asked, warming up. “I’m here to help this team win, and I went into the off-season working out to come back to have a good season here and help us get to the playoffs. That’s all I ever wanted to do from the outset. I can’t worry if people are surprised or not. I’m a Cub, and that’s it.” ~ Jacque Jones

In my mind, having Jones on this team is vital to our potential success. If we trade Jones, you’re looking at moving Matt Murton or Cliff Floyd to RF. Floyd has issues with staying healthy and Murton has youth issues. Trading Jones would weaken our OF. What do you think?
